How do I create two accounts on one computer?

Hi - I just bought my son a new iPod and he gave me his old one (a mini). His iTunes account is on my computer and I want to create my own account on the same computer so that we're not paying off each other's credit cards. How do I do that? It doesn't matter if we share music or not; we do have a lot of likes in common and can ignore the dislikes. Thanks.

HT1347 How do I run two libraries from one computer?

How do I run two libraries from one computer? One library is on the computer's hard drive, the second library is on an external hard drive. The computer that had the external hard drive crashed and I need to fix the iTunes library on it. How can I do this without corrupting the library on my internal hard drive?

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and either create a new library or choose the one on the external drive. Any rented movies downloaded from another computer won't play.

My daughters computer crashed along with her itunes library. She can plug it into my computer so how do we create her account on my computer? When we plug it in, it wants to replace her nano songs with my library.

How do i get two ipods on one computer

Ok How can I share songs with two ipods on one computer!!! Help PLEASE !!!!!!!!!1

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Windows accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

Two accounts on one computer but only one itunes works

I used the directions for creating two user accounts on one computer when my son got a new itouch. I have an itunes account for my iphone. I then created a new user account and downloaded itunes to second account for son's itouch. I can't access itunes store from the new user account. My account for an iphone will access itunes store. When I click itunes store, the loading signal comes up at the top of the page as if loading but it never loads.
I have tried reinstalling? Updating quicktime.
Any idea what may be stopping the access? I use firefox as the default for my account but have not loaded it onto the new account.... could that be a problem?
What's wrong?

Possibly it registered incorrectly once (who knows why), and now it thinks that is the right way. From what I understand all of the correct songs are still on your iPod though. In iTunes, single click on the incorrectly named iPod, then click again (kinda a delayed double click), then rename the iPod. From what I picked out of your post, they are both the same kind of iPod with the same amount of memory. If that's not the case, post back.
As for the songs skipping...

How do I merge two accounts into one account that contains all the files from both?

When I was running my MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard, I had one account for business that was encripted and another account that was unencripted for personal. Now, under Lion, the whole disc gets encripted so I don't really need two acounts. How do I merge the accounts together into one account and retain all the files from both?
Thanks,

HT202213 How do I get two accounts on one Mac to share the iTunes library?

I've consolidated two macs into one and successfully migraated everything EXCEPT access to the original account's iTunes library. I have turned on sharing on both accounts, but still cannot get the new account linked to the library. Of course apple is no help whatsoever on this - nothing i can find on the support site and unless I want to pay them $50 they won't even try to help. Anyone have any good ideas?/

With POP, there really isn't a good way. POP is designed to download from the server only, deleting messages after they are downloaded. While you can set it to not delete, there's no provision for uploading messages to the server. You need an IMAP account, which allows full synchronization of the server with the mail client, across multiple machines. Note that some mail accounts can be set up as either POP or IMAP... check with BT Connect to see if that's the case with them.

How can I use two Ipods on one computer.

I was wondering if it is possible to use 2 Ipods on one computer without having to reload all of the music to the new library.

If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually
If the iPods belong to different users then there are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:

How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

Merging two accounts on one computer

I recently discovered that my teenage daughter had created her own iTunes account on my computer and we have been purchasing songs via that iTunes account. I would like to delete that account but not lose the songs. Is there a way to consolidate these accounts and the songs into the one account?
Thanks!
Dave

You can copy them to a different iTunes library, yes. But they'll still have to be authorized through the iTunes Store account under which they were purchased.
Note, just in case I've misunderstood what you were asking, that you can merge iTunes libraries; that is, you can copy tracks from anywhere on the computer or from another computer and put them all into one iTunes library. But you cannot change the iTunes Store account under which purchased content is authorized; you have to use the account ID and password under which the content was originally purchased and there's no way to change that.
